Description
2018 Reprint of 1954 First Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. A vivid and dramatic account of the experiences of an American anthropologist who lived with a primitive bush tribe in Africa. "The first introspective account ever published of what it's like to be a field worker among a primitive people." -- Margaret Mead. The author focuses on the human dimension of anthropology, recounting her personal triumphs and failures and documenting the profound changes she undergoes. As a result, her story becomes at once universally staff and highly recognizable. She has brought vividly to life the classic narrative of an outsider caught up and deeply involved in an utterly alien culture.
